Learning Portfolio Assessment

College Credit for What You Already Know

You could save time and money working toward your degree—even if you are not currently enrolled at Excelsior College—by preparing a Learning Portfolio that documents your prior learning from specific work and life experiences.

Benefits of a Learning Portfolio:

Faster time to degree completion

Cost effective

Degree completion at higher rates than for students without portfolio credit

Request an official LearningCounts.org/NCCRS transcript to be mailed to us to have the credits evaluated toward your degree plan.

For Future Students

Call Excelsior's Admissions Office at 888-647-2388 ext. 21. If you enroll in an Excelsior degree program first, an Excelsior academic advisor will work with you to make sure learning portfolio assessment is an appropriate option for your degree plan.

You can take advantage of learning portfolio assessment through LearningCounts.org without being enrolled in Excelsior College.

To prepare for the Learning Portfolio, first take Excelsior's online course CCS 202: Prior Learning Assessment Theory and Practice.

After you complete a Learning Portfolio through LearningCounts.org, request an official LearningCounts.org/NCCRS transcript to be mailed to us.

Recommended credit may be applied to your Excelsior College file upon enrollment, our OneTranscript® service, or a Preliminary Review.
